A sense of normality gets closer!
At the end of July Road Racing resumes here with the Armoy Road Races.

I really must get over to watch some of this, it looks so much better than track stuff.
Here's a good movie to wet your appetite for road racing.

Did a job in Ballycastle yesterday and today, pasted through Armoy. Decided to take a race around the track in the VW Transporter. the kerbs and road markings have been freshly painted in preparation.
Crazy - I'd love to see that live.

That is Knucking Futs ??? ???
Superb video Mate. Just wish i could do that stuff.
Just watched that footage. I`m sat here sweating. Had to keep reminding myself that it wasn`t a video game. Totally mental :shocked:
I can assure you those roads are as bumpy as hell on a road bike travelling within the speed limits.
Only concession you'll see from the video is that metal manhole covers have paint round them.
Everything else is as the road is the other days of the year.
If you pick the right spot you can feel the blast of air and the hot bike smell as the bikes pass within feet of you.
I've been to Moto GP, WSBK and BSB and they don't come close to the adrenalin sitting next to the track.
It appears the Ulster Grand Prix will be a no show this year.

If Comrade Dan and the completely incompetent Victorian Grubernment cancels World Superbikes and MotoGP again this year they should move it to another state, say The Bend or back to SMP :whatever: :whatever:
:frustrated:

Do you guys in the UK still have to buy a TV licence? We dumped that years ago, dunno about Oz, but reckon they have too.
Really looking forward to Saturdays racing. Weather gods are on side too, so it seems.
Only been 4 yrs since my last visit. :cheers:

Yup, we're that antiquated. It's nearly one hundred n fifty quid too, mind you it's only fifty four quid if you can find a black n white TV. Only seems to go on making peados millionaires & crap woke shows too.
NW200 racing underway https://www.bbc.com/sport/northern-ireland/motorbikes
Wet conditions this evening. Saturdays promised dry.
Great days racing yesterday. All went well apart from the issue with the Dunlop tyres.
Michael Dunlop was a lucky lucky man.
That doesn't look a healthy tyre!
Yikes.
